Single number chinese and japanese.

What do you think?

九.tv
八.org

What i like is that there are only 10 per extension making them very rare. Single numbers are the same in japanese and chinese so they can be sold to both markets. chinese and japanese combined is a huge market.

Numbers are also associated with certain meanings in china and the 8 and 9 are said to be positive numbers associated with luck, weddings and wealth.

What i don't like is that they are .org and .tv

I almost never use Chinese numerals when I write from left to right, and I don't remember others (Japanese) doing it much either.

Do Chinese members here use these numerals when you write from left to right?

I have a few .net of these and a bunch of .orgs; I always assumed they'd be good for branding on, but appreciate they are not used day to day

I use them whenever I write from top to down, and many others do, too. But you can't really type in domain names from top to down, can you?

Also, this is a case where second and third opinions would be valuable. I just "think" that most other Japanese are like me but I'm not terribly confident with my memory.
